While learning about
international childhood education field, I learned the teachers in Africa don’t
not just receive traditional education training but they must learn how to be
able to teach and adjust when the climate changes when is something America teachers
don’t have to be concerned about because most students learn indoors with
heater and air conditioning and are all protected for the wind and the rain.
I learned that in many
countries boys are the primary ones to go to school because girls are taught
domestic duties. It is not until more recent years that girls are being
included in education. Therefore the assumption that all children are learning around
the world is false.
Lastly in some countries primary
education is free. To receive secondary education which is high school, student
must pass a require test and once passed they can attend secondary school. For
those who don’t pass has t their pay for school or they will become dropouts
One of my goals is to one day
visit a school in another country and teach young children how to read and
write which is something I never thought of before attending Walden University.
Walden has a passion for international education that has definitely rubbed off
on me.
I wish great success for all my
colleagues in the education profession. I pray that those who have yet to find their
passion do so and for those who have, continue to strive for excellence in early
childhood education on every level!!
Thanks for sharing your insights over the semester. I have learned a lot of vital information about the country of Africa. I think that is is so crazy that both male and females are not giving the equal opportunity of receiving an education. Your goal of teaching in another country I think is alsome. It would give you the opportunity to experience the culture and give you the experiences of teaching outside of the U.S, I think doing that would allow you to grow more professionally in your field. .
ReplyDeleteAloha Angela,
ReplyDeleteI would love to go back to Japan and teach English. I taught English in Japan when i was a missionary for my church. We did it once a week as service project. I got to work with the young children and it was such an experience. I hope you get the opportunity to do one day. Thank you for you blogs and hope that we can continue to collaborate with each other on future courses and how we can provide better quality services and programs for our young children and their families.
Mahalo,
